New Zealand Family Pursuit – Sailfishing with Michelle Jane, Des and Heather

January 23, 2017 by JW Leave a Comment

This wonderful Kiwi family first fished with us back in 2013 and it was a crazy unpredictable trip with intense action on the first day and total contrast on the second. Check out the past trip report with photos here.

July 2017 they’re back for another adventure and family outing and this time with mom, Heather, who stayed on land the last trip joining in the fun too. This will be an awesome experience for her.

I appreciate family bonding moments and experiencing things with one another so I look forward to the moments with certain excitement.

Belgian waffle slider lunch in Vibes Cafe, absolutely one of my favourite cafe
Sailfish here we come!

Michelle is onto the first fish.

The first sight of a breaching sailfish is always greeted with much excitement by everyone onboard.
The sailfish puts a nice bend in the PENN Detonator rod

Des is up next on a sailfish.

Des is an experienced marlin fisherman back home and regularly fishes for blues with his saltwater club members

Note the spool and how much line has been taken by the sailfish

Next fish is fought on the PENN Battle rod and Clash reel.

Heather then lands a decent queenfish and it’s her biggest fish yet.

The very reflective flank of the queenfish is playing havoc with the photography.

A prototype PENN Fathom Left Hand Lever Drag reel is put into test

This is not the type of bait we’re looking for. A baby barracuda caught on the sabiki while jigging for bait.

Feasting on delicious local delicacies often proves memorable for our guests.

  • END OF A DAY FISHING ON THE FLATS and the start of fishing from the motherboat for some. Laying back and enjoying the Maldivian sunset on the front deck. Dinner sounds good! .

  • HUGE YELLOW-SPOTTED TREVALLY by Paul Colvin in Kuala Rompin. This hard fighting trevally species are not uncommon but those caught are usually much smaller. This is respectable catch by Paul 👍🏾 .
